    Swapping Rosters with NJ

    I have a crazy idea, now Sarver would rather rebuild. Send the core of the team to NJ for immediate cap relief and huge TE plus young talents: Amare(s&t)/Nash/Hill/Dudley/JRich/Dragic/Lou (s&t) for Favors/Yi/Harris/Lee/Humphries Given the Suns already letting Amare walk and having no use for...

    Nash, to build a team around for "entertainment"?

    http://a1135.g.akamai.net/f/1135/18227/1h/cchannel.download.akamai.com/18227/podcast/PHOENIX-AZ/KGME-AM/4-15%20Steve%20Kerr.mp3 That's the first word Kerr associated with building around Nash in this interview. Well, I guess the money order from Sarver is clear, "if we can't compete, we'd...

    Camby? Salmons?

    Camby and Salmons would be great for the Suns. They are supposedly on the block. I could think of two scenarios beneficial for us: 1. LB+Lopez for Camby. And Marbury signs min. as our PG backup. 2. LB+Lopez for Camby; and Nash for Salmons + Udrih Well, we'd have a killing team in either...

    Barbosa to Nets for depth?

    With the Spurs game, it's increasingly clear that we lack depth at big men, swingmen, and PG, and LB's role is reduced to stationary shooting primarily. I read somewhere that Nets were considering matching Krstic and want to move some bigmen. How about this trade: Barbosa/Amundson for...

    Nash, Amare and lessons from the recent Portland and Denver games

    I always said that we could be a real contender if Nash was willing to reinvent himself into a Stockton mode to fit the new roster and coach: half of his previous amount of ball handling time, more catch and shooting with screens, less minutes, more energy for defense and maintaining the touch...

    Nash/Barbosa for Billups/Smith and win a NBA title!

    I will break the tabu and finally propose a win-win trade for Nugs and us.:mulli: Nash and Porter apparently are at dispute as to how to do our offense. The season would be ruined if the rift continues. Maybe it's time to part ways with Nash, which is somehow logical after the divorce with DA...

    Phx, Mem, NY, Utah help one another out

    Phx: Barbosa, #15, Tucker to Mem for Mike Miller and Lowry. Mem: Barbosa to NY for #5 and Rose's expiring. NY: Randolph to Utah for AK47 Utah: Boozer for other values to be determined. Provided Sloan could get Randolph play to his potential to replace Boozer, that'd be a...

    Big Shot Bob strikes again!

    Big Shot Bob did strike again to the perfectest timing, to eliminate West from next game with his shot, just as he did it last year with his shot to Nash! Congrulation to the Spurs for advancing to the next round with yet another Cheap Shot from Bob!

    Lee?

    D'Antoni wasn't asked about David Lee, one of the Knicks' more valuable assets. Lee can rebound and run but D'Antoni tends to favor forwards who can shoot. In fact, a Suns official claims that when the team discussed the possibility of drafting Lee in 2005, D'Antoni wasn't enamored with the...

    Banks would have saved the series!

    Remembering how Banks harassed Baron Davis, Iverson when here? He'd have been the perfect stopper to rough up Parker to save the series for us. "Objections!", you might say, "We'd have no offense with him." Do we have any with Nash to speak of? It's comical but with Shaq on board, we could...

    Rotation and game plan adjustment: Time to blame DA now?

    We lost the game in 3rd quarter the way we lost several important these season against NO and others: Nash dribbling to nowhere with tons of turnovers! We lost the game with no adjustment to Pop's planned adjustment to Suns' game plan and rotation plan. - They attacked relentlessly with...

    Nash saves energy with Suns adjusted offense

    Not sure if this is redundant. But Nash admitted himself that he didn't have enough energy to play defense in our old System where Nash was the only one to create shots on offense. This explains why I felt that Nash's defense had been much better lately. He could stay in front of Iverson better...

    Why zone? Why so many turnovers?

    Can anybody explain why all of a sudden DA plays so much zone defense lately? We give up way too many offensive rebounds. And our defense have been atrocious lately. Why? Also, we had way too many turnovers. In 3rd quarter, the good defense of the Celtics rotated perfectly to disrupt our...

    Suns system a la DA and the complementary rationale for 7-men rotation

    Most fans have been complaining about the short rotation DA plays. But within his System, there was a reasonable justification, which completely disappeared though with the trade. Now, his System no longer would be promising us any real chance of a NBA title. The coherent Suns system of...

    Nash lost the Hornets game(s) on both side for us

    Whoever is guarded by Nash gets confident with their shots through all game, even no more guarded by Nash. Pargo, Peterson. Why can't Nash forget helping out and stick to the shooter no matter what? And whenever possible channel them into the middle where Amare and Shaq await them? On...

    Trades to get Pietrus

    Now Pietrus desperately wants out of GS, we might want to do: Skinner/Pike/Marks/2nd-rounder for Pietrus/Menbaga With Shaq on board, Skinner is dispensible who might be a good addition for GS as a proven center who can run. Alternatively, we could also substitute Tucker for Skinner/pick.

    Trades to stay competitive in the West

    After the robbery Lakers did with Mem, we really need more bigs in the mode of BenWallace and/or KT to stay competitive in the West. I'd revisit my earlier proposal with Chicago: Marion/Banks/Skinner/Pike for BenW/TyrusT/Sefolosha/Duhon Amare/BenW/Diaw/Tyrus would be better suited to fight...

    Trades to force philosophy changes on the team

    It's apparent. It's going nowhere with the current DA-System approach with this roster. Most importantly, I don't think the DA-System can work under the budget constraints anyway. We need to change the system completely and commit to the change by changing the roster. Here is the proposal: 1...

    Tunnel vision of Suns coach

    I'm so pissed off by the way we lost to GS! The way we played with the roster and how DA uses it compared to GS's personell and style preference, we were destined to lose right from the start! Let's start looking at the final 6-8 minutes when we tried to come back. What happened there? Hill...

    Suns, Blazers, Pistons 3-way to get us Rasheed

    With all the talk of Marion for Rasheed, people just forgot that Pistons don't need another SF with 16mil price tag next to Prince. What about Blazers? With Oden and Aldridge, they don't need Randolph anymore. With Roy they are set at SG and if they don't get Conley for Randolph somehow, they...

    Positive signs from Game 1 vs Spurs

    We have talked at length what went wrong in the game. But despite all these, it's a close game and we had a good chance to win it if not for Nash's nose cut and the really bad call on Barbosa. So, we must have done something right too. First, we kept Manu under control. 2nd, Amare played...

    Bench the starters against the Nuggets

    And start the unit that played the 4th quarter last night against the Warriors. Ok, maybe leave Amare in instead of JR. They deserved it. Coach has been saying that Marion and Bell are carrying injuries as excuse. Then rest them for a game! And it maybe better to rest Nash against Iverson...

    Eddie Jones likely to be waived

    He is old but his defense is better than Rose's.

    Belkin is cheap

    This is very insightful. All Belkin wanted is to sign JJ to offersheet knowing well that Suns would have to match, in order to keep their payroll to 32mil. http://www.ajc.com/hawks/content/sports/hawks/0805/07hawks.html

    Affirmative Action Award -- The winner is: Suns

    If there was such an award in NBA, the Suns win it hands down for their non-discriminatory treatment of their opponents. Whether they are allstars or bench warmers, best teams or worst teams, we just run our trackmeet without any concern that our players might be worn out in the end. And our...
